Allows you to plop Google Maps down into your Rails app without knowing a lick of ECMAScript Javascript.
- Place in vendor/plugins/
- Get a Google Maps API key and tell it to Cartographer
- add <%= gmaps_header %> to your layout
- In controller, such as:
@map = Map.new(:name => 'mymap', :width => 300,
:center => Point.new(-110, 33))- In view, such as: <%= @map.to_html %>
- You can add markers as well:
@map.markers << Marker.new(:position => Point.new(lng, lat), :info_window => “You clicked my marker”)
svn: svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/cartographer/trunk/vendor/plugins/cartographer/
See also Plugins and the rubyforge page
FYI, I think this plugin was incorrectly refactored and may take a lot of finessing to get it running correctly (the docs are outdated as well). Also, it has not been up graded to support V2 of the Google Maps API.
